Santos-Trigo, Manuel; Reyes-Rodriguez, Aaron – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2011
To what extent does the use of computational tools offer teachers the possibility of constructing dynamic models to identify and explore diverse mathematical relations? What ways of reasoning or thinking about the problems emerge during the model construction process that involves the use of the tools? These research questions guided the…

Kadijevich, Djordje; Haapasalo, Lenni; Hvorecky, Jozef – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications: An International Journal of the IMA, 2005
To help mathematics educators realise the power of computer-based applications and modelling, this paper deals with four questions: (a) What implications does technology have for the range of applications and modelling problems that can be introduced? (b) In what cases does technology facilitate the learning of applications and modelling? (c) When…
